{"product_id":"the-breaking-pointisbn-9781582437989","title":"The Breaking Point","description":"When American authors John Dos Passos and Ernest Hemingway went to Spain in 1937 to witness the Spanish Civil War firsthand, the devastation they encountered was far from impersonal: As Spain was unraveling thread by thread, so was the relationship between these two literary titans. They had arrived in Spain as comrades, leftist writers–in–arms. But a real–life literary mystery unfolded when Dos Passos' friend José Robles—a Spanish–born Johns Hopkins professor—disappeared. Written from a novelist's eye for detail, \u003ci\u003eThe Breaking Point\u003c\/i\u003e is the story of two lives at the intersection of friendship and murder, of love and death, and of literature and history.\u003cb\u003eStephen Koch\u003c\/b\u003e, the former head of the Writing Division of Columbia University's School of the Arts, is the author of numerous books including \u003ci\u003eDouble Lives\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Modern Library Writer's Workshop\u003c\/i\u003e. He lives in New York City.","brand":"Counterpoint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304418660581,"sku":"NP9781582437989","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781582437989_48e25e6c-182b-427e-a1f0-1c70463c8876.jpg?v=1730757275","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-breaking-pointisbn-9781582437989","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
